I have the following configuration:

   Pentium P90 (4 PCI, 4 ISA, 3 VLB)
   32MB Ram
   Seagate IDE 540MB
   Seagate SCSI-2 1.08 GB
   QLogic FastSCSI PCI Controller
   Diamond Stealth 64 PCI (S3 chipset, 4MB VRAM) Graphics Controller.

Aim: To connect onto the Internet using PPP or SLIP, providing a number of services
        (www, gopher, etc. ) on the Internet. 

I need help on recommendations on whether:

   1. The existing configuration is supported by any current UNIX distributions.
   2. Any suggestions on hardware changes required to support UNIX.

Thanx in advance,
Sebastien Hadjifotis.
